I’m absolutely in love with the new Nintendo Switch 2! The graphics are stunning—super crisp and smooth, making every game feel even more immersive. I also really appreciate the upgraded controls, especially how precise and responsive the new Joy-Cons and mouse-style support feel. Everything just works so seamlessly, from the interface to the new features. It’s amazing how Nintendo took what was already great and made it even better in every way. This is hands-down my favorite console right now!

Switch 2 has honestly been such a great upgrade from Switch 1. Granted I upgraded from the OG SW1 but load times are stupid fast, FPS are remarkable and though this could be be a Switch Pro, I’m glad to own one and would def recommend to anyone on the fence about upgrading!

Switch 2 is sadly a bit of a mixed bag. The hardware on offer is fine. The price I would say is about in line with what I expected. The real problem with the Switch 2 is the "hidden costs" that pile up. For starters the system is not an OLED model and the LCD panel they used is slower than the original switch or the Switch OLED. This can cause motion blur/ghosting in some games. Customers may already be aware, but it bears repeating that Switch 2 will have a high volume of third party titles that are "game key cards". What that means is if you buy a game in store the game is not on the cartridge and you then have to download the games. For large games in excess of 50-60 GB? This can become a problem. The issue is compounded by the fact that Nintendo skimped on internal storage only offering a paltry 256 GB of storage. And if you move from Switch 1 to Switch 2? The Switch 2 tries to move EVERYTHING from Switch 1. The best bet is to migrate only stuff you want one at a time or download cloud saves if you are subscribed to NSO. So your internal storage will get used up pretty fast. So with so many game key cards, unless you buy additional storage? You are going to be uninstalling and redownloading a lot of titles. And this additional storage is a different format with SD Express. This has faster read speeds and all that. But ideally with how many titles are game key card? You are going to want that 1 TB and that costs another $200. Add to that to buy Mario Kart World outside of a bundle? You are looking at $80 for a game that Nintendo themselves set the value of at $50. If you buy that same digital version separately on E-shop you will pay an extra $30. If you are someone like me that values physical games? Switch 2 is a machine that may be a bit less appealing if you want to play third party titles on it. And many of these will be ports of games that are already available elsewhere and at a cheaper price. I mentioned hidden costs, and already discussed the storage. But to use voice chat? You need to have a subscription to NSO and the expansion. Welcome Tour which is nothing more than a system demo is $10. They also upped the prices on Switch 1 consoles and accessories. I personally am not buying any game key cards and will not buy those titles digitally. I will not be paying $80 for Mario Kart either. So what game did I buy? Cyberpunk 2077. A game I already own and played on Steam. It's all on cart. And that's worth supporting. The reason I bought Switch 2 was largely as a replacement for my aging launch Switch 1. (though I will keep my Switch 1). Because Nintendo somehow think it's ok to remotely brick a $500 piece of hardware even if you buy a used title that someone dumped and redistributed. I have no complaints about Walmart. They handled my preorder well, and it felt like Walmart cared more about me as a customer than Nintendo did.

The Switch 2 is everything I wanted from an updated Switch. It feels more premium than the original. The larger screen and joycons feel great. It runs Switch 1 games so you have a large library from the start, with some games being patched for better performance and a lot of switch games just performing better without updates.

Bought the switch 2 in June but held off opening because I wasn’t ready for the transition yet coming from a lite but I just opened it today waiting for Mario Galaxy and it’s amazing…a total upgrade across the board and still light and comfortable in the hands just an amazing product and can’t wait to use it more going forward

The Switch 2 is a wonderful upgrade from the original switch. Graphics are so much better. I enjoy the larger screen when I play in handheld mode. The joy cons are ok, not really any difference that I notice from the original, but I also just use a switch pro controller because I find the joy cons uncomfortable to use. I did notice it runs a little hot but it hasn't seemed to have any impact on performance.

I was a little frustrated waiting for the system-only and mot the bundle with Mario Kart to become available. For several weeks, it continued to show it in stock with marketplace sellers who had suspicious reviews about pre-opened boxes, so i wanted to order directly from Walmart.

My overall experience with the switch 2 is breath taking everything from the overall hardware to the software. The quality of the hardware is second to none. The joycons are a joy to use and comfortable to grip and the thumb sticks are buttery smooth it truly feels like premium product I would not recommend it enough.

This console feels incredibly premium. the tech inside is fantastic! considering this is also a handheld device. The menus are simple but easy to navigate. Transferring from my original Switch to this one was easier than it's ever been for any consoles. I haven't had it long, but I love the device and I look forward to the next 8 years with it. A worthwhile upgrade.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has even worse connectivity issues than the Nintendo Switch Lite, and yes, I checked to make sure my internet wasn't what was causing the problem. The battery also isn't all that good. You would think that with it being bigger, it would have a battery that could hold more of a charge, but no, it's even worse than the Nintendo Switch Lite.
